To begin with I believe everyone, or at least the vast majority of people understand the definition and application of the term “one percenters”.

But I wonder how many are aware of the “three percenters”? Three percent, that’s the number of people who own half of the of guns in this country.

The question should be asked how many of this three percent belong to “militias”, white supremacy groups, or openly harbor racist views? How many have mental health, alcohol, or substance abuse problems? How many have a history of violence or abuse whether spousal, in relationships, or directed at children?

I would be interested in knowing the percentage of those among the three percenters who own an assault rifle, bump stocks, and high capacity magazines.

But if percentages are the topic of conversation then the fact that ninety percent of NRA “donations” go to Republicans should also be open to discussion.

The only thing the NRA and conservative political flunkies understand is money, not body counts nor public outcry – what they’re complaining about now in yet another attempt to create a false narrative are entities like banks, airlines, and others are disassociating themselves from the NRA.

Conservative flunkies like their bought and paid for politicians and yellow journalism outlets like Fox Fake News are left with little recourse other than attempting to portray this as being an assault on of all things freedom of speech and the Second Amendment …… but then they believe and support Citizens United as “free speech”.

Now these same people will froth at the mouth that a baker for instance who refuses to make a wedding cake for a gay couple not only has the right to do so but are exercising a Constitutional right.

That’s known as talking out of both sides of your mouth.

How about a bartender that refuses to serve an obviously inebriated customer – does that qualify as an infringement of rights?

hashtag#boycottNRA? damn right but also there needs to be a #boycottRepublicanflunkies

Automated empathy coming from the President of the United States and NRA minions like Marco Rubio who in a townhall meeting yesterday ran through his own personal list of “I hear you” and then boldly stated his lack of support for not banning assault rifles while proclaiming he will continue to accept money from the NRA.

Trump so detached, so addle brained clutched a list of what to ask and say during his meeting with survivors and parents of victims of the Parkland shooting that included the words “I hear you”.

In essence the message is that government is totalitarian in nature believing it has the singular right to tell people what to do rather than being representative – a right predicated entirely on contributions from entities like the NRA.

This is an artistic rendering of child, a black child who like any other child has an inherent right to grow up and attend school in an environment that is safe, user friendly, and conducive to well being.

To be perfectly honest about it I don’t believe black children, the children of the nations, or any other minority child has much importance to the NRA and Conservative agenda of putting a gun in the hands of every lunatic in this country.

A disregard that if it happens to include non dark skinned children well then that’s regrettable collateral damage and something to pray about because they’re probably just “actors” anyway.

So shameless, so disconnected are Conservative hacks that they and equally shameless propagandists are now attempting to float the narrative that children at Parkland or anywhere else who are rising up are paid actors – that’s a page directly out the Republican Manifesto as offered by Alex Jones that Sandy Hook was a “false flag” populated by actors.

Damn, “stupid is as stupid does” as spoken by Forrest Gump really is the way of it.

Among my people there was a time when bounties were placed on the scalps of our men, women, and even children – I’m not seeing much of a difference in that and the complete unwillingness to address the issue of gun violence and slain children.

I want someone, anyone, especially a parent, to explain to me how they can look their child in the eye and tell them the importance of owning assault rifles, bump stocks, large capacity magazines, and any form of silencer is more important than the safety of their child or any other?

How it’s more important for an individual with known mental health issues to be able to own a gun than the safety of their child or any other child?

Trump’s got the goods on all of his accusers and a day of reckoning is coming – well not really that’s just more bs doled out for his defenders to come down out of the trees and applaud.

I wonder if they’ve forgotten Trump’s bluster following former FBI Director James Comey’s revelation that during a private meeting authored by Trump he expressed the opinion that he believed Comey ought to just let the whole thing about Michael Flynn slide?

Trump went to great lengths to claim it was all fake news, Comey had lied, and suggest in a menacing sort of way that Comey better hope there weren’t any “tapes” of their conversation.

Well, Flynn’s gone down in flames, rolled over, and still no tapes.

Which kinda begs the question if they existed why didn’t Trump hand them over?

Obvious answer is either they don’t exist or they support Comey’s version of the conversation.

Now it’s about Rachel Crooks, one of roughly twenty women who have accused “locker room” man of sexual misconduct accompanied by the usual Trump “exaggerations” and lies that he hasn’t a clue who this woman is and never even met her …….. anybody recall having heard that before?

His supporters shouldn’t panic though, Trump once again wants them to know he has proof in the form of video evidence and it’s nothing more than “fake news”.

But that’s where it begins to get a little convoluted as is the norm in the dystopian world according to Trump – Rachel Crooks says if that’s true then release the video and so far Trump hasn’t.

Could it be they don’t exist or if they do they fail to demonstrate that “nobody respects women” more than he does?

I”m thinking maybe Trump should head to rehab, bunk in with Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey, participate in some of that counseling and those group therapy sessions.

But then I’m also thinking a little rehab wouldn’t be a bad idea for his supporters as well.

There’s something else I’d like to draw attention to, and that is:

Trump is caught in a trap of his own design gnawing at his NRA donations friendly leg like some feral animal, coiffed his hair with super glue to hold it in place and said he’s signed a “Memo” directing USAG Sessions aka the Keebler Elf to see about the ATF banning bump stocks.

Problem is the ATF doesn’t have the Constitutional authority to do so, something Sessions must know and in knowing trickled that reality down or up to Trump .

What is required is legislation, and that’s a real threat to conservative pols who never saw an NRA dollar they wouldn’t bend over for.

Such legislation would put them squarely in opposition to the NRA, their names would be on the Bill with the NRA and members of the hive raining fire and brimstone on them, not to mention those stipends being withheld.

Not likely to happen so something is needed to toss against the Trump/Conservative wall of shame in the hope it will stick – ergo, a meaningless “memo” , a “memo” mind you, not even one of those “executive orders” Trump loves to sign with a flourish and beaming smile.

Trump and the rest of his gang have their fingers on the panic button as midterm elections draw ever nearer following the election of Linda Belcher to the state House of Representatives in Kentucky – if anyone’s counting Reps have won only five such elections since Trump has taken the “oath” he swore to himself to violate and the Dems have won thirty seven.

A panic that extends to the “tax reform” and some way to make up the shortfall which Trump has suggested could be a twenty five cents a gallon tax increase on fuel or a “mileage tax” for drivers.

Think about that – will a fuel and or mileage tax impact the everyday person or Trump’s buds? Should one even be necessary due to the giveaway to one percenters?
